Magic Merchant Racial Anecdote

Alai held Xiaolong in his arms, and walked softly and slowly towards the stairs under the shield of the system and the cover of darkness.With the sight of a human being, he could only grope forward with the flickering lights of the pool behind him.

Alai asked the system to turn on the night vision function. Although he still couldn't see clearly, it was better than nothing.

The stairs were wet and slippery as he expected, he hugged 'Cheese' with one hand, and grabbed the handrail of the stairs with the other.The uneven and dense texture of the barnacles parasitic on the armrest made Alai's body numb involuntarily.

The little dragon cub flew up without a sound. A few days ago, the wings that could only be flapped unsteadily, now seemed extremely light, and could not even make a sound of wind.

'Cheese' narrowed his eyes. Although he had only broken his shell for less than three months, he already knew how to take advantage of his body. Like all dragons would do, he hid in the dark and led Alai.

On the other side, Ned was waiting with bated breath, while confirming Alai's location through the system connection, while observing the cloaked man by the pool.His figure was perfectly hidden in the darkness, and his golden eyes condensed into the vertical pupils of a beast.

The auction by the pool has reached the most critical moment, and the expression of the cloaked man is getting more and more dignified and excited.But this is not the key to Ned's ability to 'hunt'.

He was waiting, waiting for his most important companion to arrive somewhere safe enough.

The cursor on the system was flickering, showing that Alai had slowly climbed up the stairs, walked around the stage on the first floor of the theater, walked through the hall, and stopped motionless by the door.

Ned grinned silently, and at this moment he finally gradually released his long-suppressed nature of being a top predator.

The annihilation magic was activated in the next moment, and the fireflies in the sky and the floating recorder disappeared in the blink of an eye.The magic also acted on the cloaked man at the same time, but it was blocked by the defensive magic equipment on the cloaked man as expected.

But this time is enough, Ned has already jumped at the cloaked man from behind the stone pillar while casting the magic.The lightness of the posture that is completely inconsistent with the tall figure is said to be a dragon, but more like a black panther in the hunt.

The turbid air in the underground theater was stirred, and the cloaked people didn't even have time to react. The darkness and the sound of breaking wind arrived at the same time, easily reaping their lives.

Ned cast the magic expressionlessly, eliminating the slight blood stains on the half-beast's paws. The beating sound of his heart echoed in his ears, and he could feel the call from the blood.

The time spent with Alai was too long, so long that Ned almost forgot about it.The stench of blood flowing out, the eyes of prey who are cornered but powerless to resist, and... the hunting nature of the dragon clan.

Ned took a deep breath, took out a cheese tart from the space, stuffed it into his mouth, and stood beside the corpse with his head tilted.

— Chew Chew Chew.

This piece of snack was secretly hidden when Alai was not paying attention when he was eating morning tea in the morning.In addition, there are grilled fish, fruits, barbecue, hot pot that he had eaten with Alai in his space... Every time he would secretly hide a little bit.

The instinct surging in the blood and the smell of blood at the tip of the nose were covered by the sweet aroma of cheese.Ned smiled, his lovely partner, the plan he came up with was as sweet as a snack.

But he doesn't mind, Alai is fine no matter what.

Ned blinked, squatted down and lifted off the feather mask worn by the cloaked man on the ground, revealing two ordinary-looking human faces.

'Sure enough, except for Alai, human magicians are very annoying. 'He thought like this, and cast magic at will, erasing the last trace of the two people's existence in the world.

Ned walked to the wooden box, glanced at the mermaid girl locked inside, shrugged, and lifted the extremely heavy biological cabin with ease.

It feels like he has done a lot of physical work today, and I must find Alai to get him some delicious food later...

***

Alai held on to the handrail of the stairs, and with the help of the little dragon cub, he climbed up the last step with difficulty.

He breathed a sigh of relief, but did not relax his vigilance.Unlike Ned, Alai knew that he didn't have a keen perception ability, so he couldn't determine whether the two cloaked men downstairs had accomplices, so he had to be careful.

The stage and theater upstairs were still dark, and Alai didn't dare to turn on the lighting function of the system, so he could only continue to rely on the night vision function to grope forward.

Fortunately, the theater was empty and there were not many obstacles.Alai arrived at the door smoothly. He looked around and saw that there was no one, so he quickly activated his magic.

After Alai opened the 'door', he didn't return to the space right away. He leaned against the door with 'cheese' in his arms, staring closely at the position display on the system, a little worried about whether Ned's side would go well.

Not long after, the cursor representing Ned began to move.

With the faint light at the door, Alai could see that Ned was carrying the huge biological capsule, rushing towards it at a speed that humans could never bear.

Alai opened the 'door' instinctively, leading Xiaolong in first, followed by Ned.

Close the door, dispel the magic, and dump the magic medium, all in one go.

The space was still as peaceful and quiet as ever, only a few hours had passed, the afternoon sun was shining on the courtyard, and the sweet scent of morning tea was still wafting in the air.

Alai sat on the lawn of the space courtyard, and only then did he start to feel nervous.Thinking about the plan just now, it was full of mistakes and omissions. They must have had a better way back then.

"I haven't used my brain for too long, and my ability to respond has deteriorated." Alai murmured to himself, letting go of the little dragon cub that was tightly held by him.

Seeing Alai sitting on the lawn with a pale face, Ned suddenly panicked. He casually threw the biological capsule on his shoulders on the lawn of the courtyard, making a muffled 'boom'.

"Alai? Are you okay? Where did you get hurt?" Ned squatted beside Alai and asked worriedly.

"I'm fine, I'm just tired, sit down for a while." Alai shook his head and said, a little warm in his ears.He couldn't tell Ned that he was too nervous, he would relax and his legs would be weak and unable to stand.

Ned didn't speak, he tilted his head and observed the somewhat embarrassed Alai for a while.His eyes wandered from his slightly sweaty temples to his fragile shoulder blades that seemed to be broken when pinched.

'He's scared,' Ned realized belatedly.As a dragon, he always forgets how fragile human beings are.What happened in the theater just now may be just a trivial episode for him, but for his partner, it is a life-and-death adventure.

Before they met, how many times had Alai been in such a situation where he could only escape?Or simply like when they first met, obviously the whole body was trembling with fright from his body, but still he could only pull himself together and pretend that he was not afraid.

Fragile, strange, his—Alai.

Alai sat on the lawn, waiting for Ned to show kindness and help him, so that he could stand up logically and deal with the rest of the matter, but found that the other party just stared at him without moving.

"Ned?" Alai called out in doubt. Why was he in a daze?Anyway, give me a hand.

"Well, Lai." Ned replied in a low tone, his voice a little hoarse.

"Ned." Please, give me your hand.

"Well, I'm here." Ned softened his voice, with concern on his expression.

A Lai almost sighed, what's the matter with this guy, just give him a hand, is it that difficult?Being so angry, the nervousness subsided instead.A Lai took a deep breath and got up from the lawn by himself.

The little dragon cub flapped its wings and flew leisurely around Alai.After what happened just now, he has completely mastered the knack of flying, and dangling has become history, so proud!

Alai raised his eyes and smiled at the little dragon cub. Under Ned's gaze, he walked slowly to the chair in the garden and sat down.

"Why are you standing there? Come and sit down." Alai said to Ned who was squatting on the spot with a complicated expression.

"Oh...oh!" Ned blinked, walked to Alai's side and sat down in two or three steps.

I always feel that Alai's reaction is a bit different from what he imagined. Just now... did he do something stupid?Ned thought silently.

Alai didn't care about Ned's little entanglements. In fact, there were indeed more important things waiting for him to do.The huge biological cabin in the courtyard is showing its incompatible presence, which makes people want to ignore it but can't ignore it.

"I must have been crazy at the time to think that this was a good idea..." Alai sat on a seat in the courtyard and said to himself with a headache facing the biological cabin.

"Is it difficult?" Ned asked a little confused.Some didn't understand what Alai was worrying about.

"It's not difficult, it's just a little troublesome... What I'm most worried about is the customer's problem. So far, we haven't received a few orders in total. Who is deliberately making trouble for us?" Alai bit Pursing his lips, he said thoughtfully.

"Well... I don't know about the client's problem, but the mermaid's matter is easy to solve. It's still too late, I can make it disappear directly. Then we can just pretend nothing happened." Ned approached Ah Lai and said, There was no hesitation in his eyes, and his tone was as natural as asking Alai what to eat tonight.

To him, there is not much difference between the mermaid and the grilled fish he ate, they are just part of the Dragon Clan's recipe.Since its existence would annoy Alai, it only needs to eliminate this existence, and the problem will be solved.

Ah took a look at Ned, and was tempted for a moment, but then immediately rejected the proposal.

As a registered human space magician, it was too much for him to casually kill a creature with independent thinking ability.What's more, things haven't progressed to the point where it is necessary to do so. You can't just kill fish just because you think it's troublesome.

Still according to the original plan, contact the customer first.

A Lai made up his mind and turned on the system.

But at this moment, the client who had been out of touch contacted him on his own initiative.

【Did you bring that mermaid girl home? 】

The mysterious customer left a message.
